Vincotto

Yield: 1 ½ cups

Ingredients:

• 4 cups (950 ml) fruity red wine
• 1 cup (240 ml) honey
• 2 cinnamon sticks

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until wine has become a thick syrup and has reduced to about a quarter of its original amount, about 1 hour.

Remove from heat and let cool, then use immediately or transfer to a clean container with a lid and refrigerate until needed. Properly stored, it should keep for several weeks or more.

Serve on top of Sweet Wheat Bowl (see recipe).

Buon appetito!
